Why are EMERYTOP 400 Floors the World’s Toughest Floor?
At twice the abrasion resistance of iron toppings and other emery toppings, the EMERYTOP 400 aggregate is the toughest in the world with a mohs hardness of 9 compared to the average metallic aggregate at 7 to 7-1/2. Unlike other toppings, it’s chemically engineered to resist chemical attack leading to high abrasion resistance.
Unveiling Superior Impact, Abrasion and Chemical Resistance and Cost-Effective Protection
Witness the EmeryTop 400 installation at Samo Transfer in Brevard County, designed to withstand chemical attacks through enhanced abrasion resistance, high energy absorption capacity, and resistance to chloride-ion penetration. This solution not only ensures robust protection but also comes with a lower life cycle cost, making it a cost-effective choice.
Why Other Toppings Fail vs. EMERYTOP 400™?
Other toppings address only impacting loads and abrasion. They don't address one of the most important causes of early topping failure: Chemical Attack.EMERYTOP 400 is chemically engineered to combat common chemicals that destroy the cement paste holding the aggregate in place. These include milk, vinegar, urine, animal fat and most household chemicals--all common in solid waste. Once the cement paste is destroyed, the aggregate is lost.
At an average ¾ inch to one inch, EMERYTOP 400 can conveniently be applied over existing concrete floors or freshly placed concrete.
McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Complex and Transfer Station
Tipping floors face extreme conditions, and L&M™ EMERYTOP 400™, renowned as the world's most durable floor, has demonstrated its return on investment for over a decade in neighboring counties in Florida. Implementing this solution in the City of Tampa will significantly prolong the life cycle of tipping floors, leading to cost savings for the city by minimizing downtime, avoiding truck rerouting, and reducing the need for demolition and repairs.
